There are (approx) 254,212,610 cars in the USA and 32,000 deaths, conversely there are 300,000,000 guns in the USA and 8,500 deaths. Productivity is debatable, what is the best way to stop a criminal or rapist if you don't have a gun.
Strawman's arguement! The "intent" of a car is to transport people or goods. What is the "intent" of a gun?
To injure or kill. NEXT!
So your point is that more more people fell off ladders, they at least serve a meaningful function in life, getting shot at a gun show is dumb. I thought these shows were so well organized and safety was their first concern, so much for that.
It still does not disprove any of the numbers in my source!
A murder with a gun is still a murder with a gun, legal or not legal. The same way a murder/accident-death with a car is still a death with a car whether it was stolen or not licensed.
That's a ridiculous comment. Following the same logic, you should include all controlled substance pharmacies into drug dealing. Like you said, legal or illegal, they are still selling drugs.
How can someone mix suicide, self-defense and murder in one bucket and called "firearm related death." Well some death are justified and rightfully intended to be so!

Guns serve to protect your life and your loved ones, which is not meaningful???
You forgot sports shooting competition and hunting, NEXT
Guns and gunpowder were invented by the Chinese to kill. You can use your guns to scrape butter on your toast but that doesn't change its primary function.
I totally agree! And the next time a ladder is used to slaughter 20 school children, I am going to Washington to fight for banning ladders!
